This video was sooo comforting. I love your energy and your presence in the small moments. I smiled so big when you did the * chefs kiss * because the air smelled so good 😂 The air during and after a storm is so magical!!! I'm kind of thinking now that we too are magical during and after our internal storms. The energy and chaos we feel is strong and fiery, but we penalize ourselves for it, as if we're to be calm and still at all times. Anyway, you are beautiful! Keep living life - there's no one way to do it 😊
Aaaaw 🥰 your comment is a such a sweet gift to wake up to ☀️ and you put it so beautifully into words: we are truly magical during and after our internal storms. And also the storms from outside make our roots dig deeper I believe, they make us stand stronger… and definitely: there are no wrong feelings. Everything belongs to the spectrum. If we always try to stay calm it also might come from the fear of losing control, I believe. But sometimes that’s the way life and love goes…. We can’t control everything… So again: thank you so much for brightening my day with your comment! I hope you’re having a wonderful day today 🤗 keep on shining 🌈 xo Nastja
Once again you've made anither video that I needed at this moment in time! ❤
The song that comes to mind when watching this video and your last one and thinking about time passing and being "behind in life" is another bjork one, "it's not up to you"...
Patience and curiosity rather than pressure - those are the skills I am trying to develop when everything feels destabilised and empty. And trust in the process, as per the Carole King quote
Thank you for gifting us with a beautiful video on this topic ❤
I‘m just amazed…. „It’s not up to you“ is such an important song for me.. it accompanied me in a very existential period of my life when I was 16.. it was kind of my spirit song.. and it came back into my mind lately… what a beautiful synchronicity, you mentioning this song 🥹🙏 and thank you so much for your loving and heartwarming comment… 🧚♀️🩵 I feel so lucky 🍀 thank you for being here with me 💞🌈🙏
“Things happen for me , not to me.” Thank you for saying that. It’s something I always need to remind myself of. Love your videos 🥰
I need to remind myself of that, too 😅 it’s one reason why I‘m making these videos.. and I‘m so glad you like them🤗💖✨ ps: Marla is such a beautiful name 🦋
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby aw, thank you 💕
I am almost 36, live in Asia, no house, no "proper career", single... The freedom is both exhilarating and at times scary!
But I have beautiful things in my life. I love your videos, so soothing 😍 Thank you 🌺
Dear Nicola 🌸 I’m so glad you find my videos soothing 🙏 that’s my deep intention.. to evoke some calmness in times of adversity, for myself and for others…
We seem to have some similarities there ☺️ although in Germany I know many people with that kind of lifestyle.. most of them have no children though… that’s where I feel a bit like an outsider right now 🙃 but everything will be alright for us.. I’m sure 🩷🧡🩵
I am so content you are beginning to enjoy the little things. A good storm always soothes my intense emotions. Aren't we all outsider?..we live in our own "cycled" worlds...build your own life my friend..it will be beautiful.~~Tina ( I read scifi/fantasies...world building..good vs evil...a different journeys)
Yes Tina… we definitely do 🌍😊 and at the same time we are all connected… in one way or another… and yes.. this storm was so soothing… ☔️ it helps our roots dig deeper 🌳 btw sci-fi can be quite philosophical.. like Pratchett, a universe of his own 🌈✨
Amazing. The atmosphere, your voice, your insights... the lofi filming gives it extra coziness
And the music is incredible
Thank you for sharing!!!
So glad you felt the atmosphere and energy 😊💞 that’s exactly what I wanted to portray… and the music plays a huge role for me… 🎶 it inspires me so much! Most of it is by Kylie Daily who I really love. Thank you for reaching out to me 🤗 wishing you a lovely day 🌈🍵☀️💕
"Things happen for me, not to me." Yes! This is a fantastic outlook! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!💖
Thank you so much dear Joy !💕🌸✨🤗
Oh Nastja du wundervolles Wesen!❤️Niemals ohne deinen geliebten Matchatee… Das Gefühl ein Outsider zu sein unter den glücklichen Paaren oder den glücklichen Singels kenne ich. Wenn man unglücklich ist und sich in Schmerzen befindet ist es generell glaub ich schwierig sich als Insider zu fühlen unter glücklichen Menschen weil man in dem Moment einfach kein Insider ist. Aber alle die die jetzt glücklich sind haben höchstwahrscheinlich auch schon mal gelitten in ihrem Leben und sind deshalb in Bezug zu dir auch Insider? Zu einem gewissen Maß zumindest und so können die glücklichen auch so viel Mitgefühl geben… Und irgendwann wenn du wieder ein Insider unter den Glücklichen bist kannst du jemandem der sich wie ein Outsider fühlt deine Liebe und dein Mitgefühl und deine Weisheit geben. Das weiß ich! Du bist sooo so wundervoll! Sei lieb gegrüßt von einem anderen Outsider🫶🤗😘
Ach Indulein… selber wundervolles Wesen du 🥰💞 I know you know how it feels… wenn wir uns austauschen fühle ich mich immer ganz aufgehoben und als Teil von etwas sehr Liebevollem 💜 wir bauen gerade Kraft auf 💪 und die kann uns dann auch keiner mehr nehmen😘🫂🦋💖 ich bin sehr dankbar und froh, dass es dich gibt 💓
The video comes at the right moment when I needed it. Thank you 🥰
@@SumatraIslandGirl this makes me really happy Lisa 💕🌸💞 I hope you are well and have a beautiful day with time to take care of yourself 🤗
Warm🧡, fresh💚 and affectionate💗
You are so sweet… thank you so much 🤗💞🕊️

Its all your sweetness

I have endometriosis too, it's nice to see someone who looks so good and calm in their 40s with endo:) sometimes I can't even dare to imagine myself in my 40s because of the illness. thank you!
I‘m so sorry to hear that you‘re also suffering from Endometriosis … it’s such a life-limiting illness, so underestimated. When I was in my teens and my twenties nobody informed me that this illness even existed. My sister got surgery when she was young and no one explained to her why. The name Endometriosis wasn’t even known. (Although the illness is known since 1860). I could go on and on.. there’s a lot of anger in me still.. for the wrong treatment of women.. I might make a video about that one day. I just sincerely hope that you have some support… I can tell you from my experience that the most important thing that helped me with the terrible pain was inner work. Everything related to my soul and past trauma (also ancestral trauma), working with that and slowly taking my power back and taking care of myself has made the pain subside. I still need a little bit of pain medication. But it’s not unbearable anymore, like when I was younger… I just really want to give you a hope here… because I also was in a place when life seemed so heavy because of the constant pain, feeling alone / misunderstood and having to function somehow…
I‘m sending you a big, warm hug 🫂 please stay strong 💓 and feel free to reach out gain 🦋 xo Nastja
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby thank you so much! this really gives me hope 🥰sending hugs
@@sivifloyd I‘m so glad 🫂🤗💞
Wonderful as always. Left me feeling so calm. I have been watching the football on TV and you guys have had some big big storms this last week or so. Strangely enough I have a video scheduled for tomorrow morning and in it I mention how I love the coast when it is stormy and how the electrical energy makes me feel. Connecting with nature is the way to go Nastja. I really hope you find a very special place for you both to settle and call home. Oh, and bless you for the sneeze 🤣🙏.
Haha 😅 🤧 thank you Jason 🙏 yeah… I have to say.. this summer has been extremely rainy and cold so far. But that night was really special… so cozy… well.. not for the players, but for me 😄 I‘m really looking forward to your new video with the stormy coast Jason, too👏🌊
And thank your so much for your kind wishes and heartwarming words.. I feel blessed to be connected to you 🧚♀️🙏💞
🤗 Ahhhhhh…… you’re turning a corner. There’s a twinkle in your eye and a smile escapes your lips. 🥰 Happy Summer! May your apartment hunting be fruitful. The new start will be your own. Life is learning to embrace “where YOU are” (metaphorically speaking) rather than feeling “but that grass looks greener”. Trust the Universe will bring you what is in your very best and Highest interest. 😉 💚+💎, -V
Just made a screenshot of this 🥰 because I really need to remind myself to trust the universe… 🪐thank you so much Virginia 💖 I hope I will find a place where my son and I can thrive 🌸 It’s so hard to find apartments where I live… but I want to believe in it 🙏 I wish you a happy summer too ☀️ sending you lots of sunny hugs 🤗🌈🧚♀️
Behind some happy facade there is often sorrow and suffering. Stay as you are, because everything has a meaning. Maybe the time has come to finally be yourself instead of depending on 9x smart people.
I'm sure I'll not have such a cozy, comfortable life in my 40s. I'm not even sure I'll live until i reach my 40s. Self love and self care is something i really struggling to build up in me. When the life is getting harder and harder, the more and more we fall into the evil's cave .
Your videos are so helpful to build that trust and love in me towards myself Nat ❤. And there's nothing happier than seeing you staying healthy and happy. Take care of yourself Nat , i know you are the best ☺️
Dear Izza, I know this is just a UA-cam comment, but I want to tell you that I‘ve been in a similar place in my 20s. I know that feeling you describe so well: having no hope, feeling like giving up, not being able to be kind to myself. I already told you a little bit of my story. And I just want you to know.. from afar.. that if I found the strength to love myself, you will find it too. It takes a lot of work, time and healing. But you are still here. You are stronger than you think. And you will turn your pain into purpose. I truly believe that. And I really hope, one day, you will believe it, too 💜 I‘m so happy that by videos can provide some comfort and inspiration for you 🙏 I‘m sending you a warm hug 🫂 I will make myself a matcha 🍵 now 😊 because we have morning here and finally some sunshine ⛅️ is coming out. See you soon dear Izza 🧚♀️
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby this is not just another random UA-cam comment for me. You know that . People like you are so rare in this world 🌎. Your love and strength means a lot to me . I'm still learning so much about life . Just it sometimes go so hard and harsh on me. Trust the timing is the only option I have in my bag.
Woah ! A matcha 🍵 and a smooth sunshine with some fresh air is muah
😘🤌. Keep Shining our beautiful queen 😁❤️
@@vip_izza it makes me happy to sense that your energy is a little bit uplifted now 🦋💕 we need to take it step by step Izza… especially if life seems to be hard on us. One day it will all make sense. We have to keep the faith up. (Self)Love is the only way out and the only way in. And you are in your way Izza 🍀 … I can feel it 🌱
I‘ll have my oatmilk cappuccino now ☕️ read a little bit in my daily rituals book 📚 hope you make yourself comfortable today as well.. sending you a digital hug through the tube 🌸⛅️🧚♀️
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby As long as there are incredible people like you around me, I'll never falter. God sent you here for a purpose, Nat - to heal people like me. He must be so proud of you, and we all share in that pride. ☺️🙌.
Now I'm so interested to see a 'day in life' video from you anyway. ;)
@@vip_izza you know you are amazing yourself and you have all the power in you Izza. I‘m really happy that my videos and comments can help you feel connected and have a little bit more faith in this world 🌍 but of course (and I told you that before) we might need more support if our souls hurts severely. I will just tell you again and again that you are so worthy of going on that healing journey and that it can get better 🌱 I see myself as the best example. I hope you’ll have a beautiful day today and maybe pamper yourself a little bit.. give yourself a little treat 🎁 😊 because you deserve it ☀️🌈💞
loved this !thank you for being so honest and so vulnerable,there is so much power in it :) well done,great video !
Aaaaw .. thank YOU so much for saying that and for taking the time to comment 🙏🥰 it means a lot 💓🌈🌸🦋
End of 30s, without kids and feeling like an outsider 😅❤
Yesterday I hang out with a wonderful group of people : all in their mid / late thirties.. no plans to have kids.. extremely happy and unbothered 😊
I felt like an alien 👽 but still included because they were showering me with so much kindness…
of course it depends on what our wishes and needs are…
We can both feel like outsiders together.. and that’s somehow comforting :) …I know it will all work out for us… the way it’s supposed to be 💜
Your new film gives me strength and hope! I love the images you have found and created for all us! Halt die Ohren steif! keep your chin up!
Thank you Mr. Kunstmann… 💜das bedeutet mir sehr viel… danke für deine Worte… und für deine Freundschaft 🌱 halte du auch die Ohren steif 🙏 we will survive and we will thrive 😊🌸
@@EmbraceYourselfBaby We will indeed! Thank You! 💙
